[quote author=Chaddy link=1100639906/15#15 date=1100727344]I thought it sounded like the switch, especially as it was fine until the switch was reconnected!!
Got a professional coming tomorrow to check it over. Don't want to take any more chances.

Hey Chaddy
Yep get it checked out properly, as the other guys have already said it's most likely a cross connection.
Quote:Can you give me any ideas how much i can expect to pay to have the installation checked out??
I know it's a difficult question to answer but a ball park figure would help to make sure i don't get ripped off.
£100 or less
Quote:Is it possible to blow the RCD and is it repairable?
RCD's arent usualy damaged by this, however they wont reset instantly, with the shower properly disconnected the RCD should reset after turning on and off and waiting some time.
It is important the show is not used for the time being tho as I have concerns about your earthing being live and sparking, if the earthing is poor or mis-wired you may get shocks from exposed conductive parts e.g. metalic pipes etc
Hope you get it all sorted out, do keep us informed how it goes!
